Iceland: The Retreat at Blue Lagoon, Reykjanes Peninsula

A Suite Built Into a Centuries-Old Lava Flow

The Retreat at Blue Lagoon is built directly into a centuries-old lava flow on the Reykjanes Peninsula, its 60 suites arranged around floor-to-ceiling windows and a minimalist, subterranean design. The Moss Suite sits at the top of the lineup with its own separate living space, while the Lagoon and Blue Lagoon Suites offer private, direct access to the resort's own secluded section of the Blue Lagoon's mineral-rich waters.

Moss, the Retreat's 40-seat Michelin-starred restaurant, turns seasonal ingredients into a genuinely refined tasting menu, a rarity this close to a geothermal spa. The 2,300 square-meter spa is carved directly into the rock and opens onto a residents-only lagoon, where the signature Blue Lagoon Ritual walks guests through a multi-step treatment using silica, volcanic minerals, algae, and sea mud, and a secluded section of water is set aside entirely for in-water massage and float therapy.
